  • Ian's 90 build

    Convinced the Minister for Industrial Supply Sustainability and Uther Stuff (MISSUS) that because she doesnt want the new VX bush striped that i should do the old 95 up for bush work. Finally have agreement. She is going to sell her Scooby Forrester and I upgrade the old girl..

    I bought the old girl new in 2000, its basically a GXL Kimberley pack and it has nearly everything original. 250000 km on the clock.

    First order of the day is to fix oil leaks on the rear of the motor from around the rear of the cam seals. Dont know till i get the rocker covers off if i will need to lift cams but if i do the job will extend to new timing belt and water pump while it is open.

    Supsension is original so ordered a 2 inch Bilstein lift kit today, pick up Friday so that will go on this weekend.

    Got a GME tx3800 commercial radio configured for 80 channels lined up

    Future plans are locker, not sure what type yet. i like the idea of the eLocker but an air locker with compressor to do tyres sounds a good option.
    Down the track things like draws and fridge sliders, roof top tent i want to make them so they can eventually fit the 150

    Will be keeping an eye on this. I have the same vehicle (2000 GXL Kimberley). Is yours the petrol or diesel?

        Yeah, mine's slowly getting there. SLOWLY!

        If you want to see a nicely setup Prado, I love Glen_ep's! Hopefully have the same mods as his within a couple of years...

            Fitted the lift kit today. 2 of the old shocker were leaking so it was well past due.

            Front left raised from 740 to 775, right 735 to 775 mm. Rear left from 750 to 800 right 760 to 810.

            Went for a quick test run down Costello Rd at Carbalah to try them out. Handles the corrugations a whole lot better. Need to get wheel alignment done now.

                  HT's? Needs more AT or MT! :P

                  Do you plan on a bullbar at some stage? Still looks like a soccer mums car with those tyres and front bumper.
                  Just kidding mate! Slowly getting there! Looks good with the lift already!

                    Soccer mum is no longer with me hence starting to do mods after owning it for 13years. Gonna get some ATs hopefully next month. Use Bridgestone Dueller ATs on the work 150 which seem to handle everything ok so thinking of putting as set of those on. Priority is to get the rear locker fitted. So bullbar is a way down the track yet

                            Took the old girl (95) out for a run from Hampton to Gaton via Vinegar hill to try out the new undercarriage. Combination of new suspension and tyres works a treat, huge difference which even the missus noted. She also understands how the Jesus bar got its name.

                              just back from ARB Toowoomba,

                              Had the Air locker fitted, with compressor and external air connection.
                              Also roof cage fitted with 2.5m awning.

                              Was hoping to get it earlier in the day to go try the locker but will have to do it tomorrow.....prior to proper test on the weekend.
